Hint:
since you already found out that the culprit was

$reportbug /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh
would have automatically filed a bug against the package that owns it.

I use and like esmtp, but I don't see how we could depend on it as

be procmail installed and esmtp needs some configuration to use it.
